Or does her nominated person take on this role? 4) If the 2 sons demand that the current executor give up his responsibilities, must he? 5) If a person gives up part of his inheritance to his sisters, is that money now considered theirs? 6) If after a couple of years the person demands the share that he gave up to be given back to him, must it? Or is money now the sisters?
